Let Kriza Salon Studio City Create the Perfect Haircut for Your Face Shape (Part 3 of 3)

Continued from: "Let Kriza Salon Studio City Create the Perfect Haircut for Your Face Shape Part 2"

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this article series, we focused on how to identify your face shape and some techniques that Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists use to create the illusion of the perfect, oval face shape if you aren’t blessed with that face shape and instead have a round, square, or oblong face.

In this article, we’ll take a look at what Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists can do for those of you who have heart, triangle, and diamond face shapes.

Heart Shape

Because heart-shaped faces have a broad forehead and narrow chin, your Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylist can create the illusion of an oval shape by narrowing the forehead and adding volume around the jaw and chin. Shoulder- or longer length hair styles that are textured, layered, or flare out work well.  If you like bangs, keep them swept to the side. Be sure your hair is shoulder length or longer if you want hair on the top of the head.

Triangle Shape

The triangle face shape is narrow at the forehead and broad at the chin; therefore, your Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylist will create an oval shape by adding width at the forehead and around the temples. A layered look is the best way to go, especially when the hair flares around the forehead and temples and tapers toward the jaw line. As a result, shorter hair cuts are beste suited for this face shape.

Diamond Shape

Creating the illusion of an oval with a diamond face shape is going to involve widening the narrow forehead, narrowing the wide cheeks, and adding width to the narrow jaw line. Your Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylist can easily achieve this by adding straight bangs across the forehead to broaden it, keeping the hair chin length to create a “bob” style or shoulder length, with the hair flaring out at the sides to broaden the jaw line.

As you can see, it really doesn’t matter what kind of face shape you have. Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists know exactly what to do to create the perfect style and haircut for your uniquely beautiful face. Give us a call today at (818) 506-1220 schedule an appointment.

Let Kriza Salon Studio City Create the Perfect Haircut for Your Face Shape (Part 2 of 3)

Continued from: “Let Kriza Salon Studio City Create the Perfect Haircut for Your Face Shape (Part 1)”

In Part 1 of this article, we described seven face shapes and helped you determine which one most closely resembles your face shape.  In this article, we’re going to take a look at how to create the illusion of an oval face shape based on how the hair is cut and styled. Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists will be able to help you identify your face shape and apply these techniques to create the perfect haircut and style for you.

We haven’t forgotten about those of you with perfectly shaped oval faces. It’s just that, with your face shape, just about any haircut and style will work. Short, medium, or long – whatever length you choose to wear your hair doesn’t matter. Lucky you!

If you have one of the six other face shapes, Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists will use some of the following techniques to cut and style your hair.

Round Shape

Because this face shape tends to have a round chin and hairline, making the face look short, your Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylist will provide the illusion of length by keeping the cut short, adding layers on top, and keeping the sides of your hair flat. If you want a longer cut, it’s essential that the sides are kept as flat as possible to avoid making your face appear wider.

Square shape

Another “short” face shape, the square shaped face needs a haircut and style that’s going to lengthen the face.  It also needs a style that will “soften” the square jaw line. Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists achieve these effects by layering the hair around the square forehead and jaw line to create the illusion of an oval. Height at the top of the head will also elongate the face. This face shape works well with short- to medium-length hair.

Rectangular shape

Similar to the square-shaped face, the rectangular or oblong face shape differs in that the sides of the face are long. Your Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylist’s goal, then, will be to “shorten” the face by adding width to the sides. Adding width to the face can be accomplished with a chin- or shoulder-length haircut s that either turn under or flare out at the sides. Longer hair air that is layered, wavy, or otherwise textured will add volume to the face.

Read Part 3 of “Let Kriza Salon Studio City Create the Perfect Haircut for Your Face Shape” this series to find out how to cut and style hair for the heart, triangle, and diamond face shapes.

Let Kriza Salon Studio City hair stylists give you the perfect cut and style that is perfect for your face shape.  Call for an appointment today at (818) 506-1220.

Thinking About a Facial at Kriza Salon Woodland Hills?

Kriza Salon Woodland Hills Facials

Not sure about getting a facial at Kriza Salon Woodland Hills? Many of us believe that getting a facial is a luxury we simply can’t afford, an activity engaged in only by the rich and famous, or simply unnecessary since most of us wash our faces every day. However, treating yourself to a spa facial from Kriza Salon Woodland Hills  on a regular basis has many benefits you really shouldn’t deprive yourself of.

The following are just a few of the benefits you can expect when you get a facial at Kriza Salon Woodland Hills:

•    Evaluation of your skin type: Before the facial begins, the skin care specialist or esthetician from Kriza Salon Woodland Hills will evaluate your skin type to determine the correct skin care products to use and the appropriate procedures to apply.  Many estheticians will encourage you to bring in the products you use at home in order to determine if they are the ones you should be using and recommend products that match your skin type.

•    Deep cleanse. You may think you’re giving your face an adequate cleanse at home, but a facial from Kriza Salon Woodland Hills is designed to penetrate deeply into the pores to unclog them and remove blackheads, as well as ground-in dirt and bacteria that a regular washing often misses. The skin is also exfoliated to remove dead cells that have accumulated, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and glowing. This exfoliation and deep cleansing boosts cell metabolism, improves circulation, and prevents premature aging of the skin.

Staff at Kriza Salon Studio City Recently Learned About David Wagner and …

The Experience that Changed His Life

It only takes a moment to make someone’s day – to become a daymaker – and sometimes those moments even change lives as I discovered a number of years ago. I was working in my salon one day when a client came in to have her hair styled. I was surprised to see her, since it was right in the middle of her five-week period between hair cuts. I figured that she must have an important social engagement, so I asked her about her evening plans.

‘I don’t have anything special going on,’ she told me. ‘I just want to look and feel good tonight.’

I gave her a great scalp massage, then shampooed and styled her hair. During our 30 minutes together, we joked and laughed. At the end, she smiled radiantly, hugging me goodbye. Continue reading “Kriza Salon Studio City & Daymakers!” »
